CVE-2026-111392 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.8 · Published 2026-10-16

SGLang is a language model serving runtime that caches preprocessed multimodal data (images) to improve request performance. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to supply fake hash values for cached image data, causing the server to return a different image than originally cached. An attacker can poison the cache to disclose images from other users' requests or corrupt responses.

## Technical details

SGLang through version 0.5.21 uses caller-supplied mm_hashes values as the key for multimodal prefix-cache lookups without validation. An attacker can send a request via the /generate endpoint with a forged mm_hash matching a known or predicted hash from another request, paired with a different image, to corrupt cached KV entries. This is a cache poisoning vulnerability requiring network access but no authentication.
